Slow progress is still progress

With work loads changing and everything else in life happening, it can be hard to feel like anything is moving in your passion project.

I've read others pumping out projects in weeks, or a couple months, and they can just fire away quickly to see what sticks. What I've realized is I am me and I have my own timeline. Being okay with my own timeline as long as I'm moving is acceptable.

Right now, what free time there is available is used to design every edge case of the product within Figma. Slowly but surely! A big mental hurdle I'm experiencing is finding out this is going to be developed and worried about the capital it will take to do so. I know I can do some work on Webflow but a developer or engineer is needed for completion. I've found the best course of action to break this barrier is turning the problem into small actionable items.

If I can't afford $2k right now to have someone do everything what can I do?

  1. Learn about marketing my product and getting people onboard beforehand.
  2. Find communities for devs and engineers to see what is possible.
  3. Create a task on Upwork and interview differing candidates to learn requirements.
  4. Keep posting on IH and PH.
  5. Keep designing, be ready for when the time comes to bring wireframes to life.
  6. Don't give up.
